The following commanicalion reached ns too late for last issne. It Is too 'good to consign to the waste basket, and wo therefore give it place, notwithstanding it might be consid ered, in journalistic parlance, “stale. “ New Yonx, Sop. 20th, 1881. Editor Advcrtiacr and Appeal; This is indood a sorrowful day for the American pcoplo. At thirty-fire minntes past ten o'clock lost night the spirit of James A. Qarfiohl, President of tho United States, took its flight to God who gare it, and to-day a nation mourns her dead. Certainly no oveut has over so ap pealed to tbo hoartfolt sympathy of overy citizen of tho Union as tho sassination, and loug and painful ill- noss of our doad Cbiof Magistrate, and in that sympathy tbo pcoplo of the whole country havo been unitod, and now that tho end is come, mani Many wise j / ( . H tatioDB of tho doopcst sorrow are seen on evory hand, and in every di- Albany seems to bo troubled with a number of cases of bcmorrbngio yol low fever. Tho disease is a protracted one, and almost always provos fitful Blaine and Grant, who havo not spoken since tho Chicago convention, forgot tlioir privato grievances and wrung each others hands in tho pres ence of death. * Notwithstanding all that has boon raid and written on tho subject of a reform of tho convict systom of Geor gia, tho Legislature has loft every thing just whore thoy found it.

In this city, from the Bat tery to Harlem, tho bnildings, both public and private, are draped with funeral colors, nud ovidoncos of tbo great ufitiction that has como upon tho Nation, are manifest in tho faces of tho pooplo. Not yet sevon months ago Presi dent Garfield wus inaugurated as tho nation's chiof ruler, and during tho short time bo was permitted to fill tho Presidential chair, bo endeared bim- solf to every lover of justice and good government in this broad land, and the ovidcnccs were many showing that his administration would bo one of tbo best if not the best tbo country had ever known. His knowledge of public affairs, his broad views and his large oxporienco as a law-maker fitted him ns nono of his predecessors had boon fitted to fill the high position to which ho was callod, with wisdom aud intelligence. The nomination of President Gar field was a victory of moderation and conBcrva'.ion over faction and section alism, and his nomination and subso- quont election raudo him tho instru ment in God’s hands to bring about that which has boon so ardently longed for by all lovers of oitr coun try—tho bringing togothcr of thoiico- plo whom war had made separate. Gnitcan's bullet meant more than the doath of n singlo individual—by shedding of blood tho North and Wftjrrrom UrporW. I came to Waycross on the lltb ex pecting to meet you in a convention, which, to my disappointment, has, understand, been postponed to some future day, and intending to ask your permission to address yon upon tho land pooliug and immigration schemo; thus giving an opportunity fur dig cushion, und answering objections, if any, as satisfactorily as possiblo. Having lost that opportunity, havo determined to say, through the columns of tbo lleporicr, soma of the things I would have said could I have met you and obtained your permis sion to address yon. You are representatives of tho larg est single bnsinoss and largest amount of activo capital in Southern Georgia; you own largo bodies of land which you have strip]ied of timber; yon are continneiug your beneficent work of dovasla on, with wondorfnl rapidity; you are increasing the capacity of your mills; orocting new ones; adding to your facilities for procurement of lumber from long distances; you will havo oxhunsted the supplies of mer chantable timber in twenty-five years; you ore rapidly adding to the already large area of lands stripped of timber of which you are proprietors. I lake it for granted, therefore tlmt yon will not bo indifforout to any scheme proposed by which to give vnluo to these lands stripped of tim ber, by which to replace the business you are now prosecuting, whon yon have exhausted the supply of jtiaiber. That sagacious business mon who havo built up a vast business, and nro fast becoming heavy landed proprietors of lauds originally purchased solely for thoir :.mber, aud valueless after tho timber is cut oft unless scttlod and mado available for agricultural pur poses, havo already thonght for yonr- solvos over tho problem, "What shall wo do with those lauds ?" It iB a problem which cannot lie solved by individual effort. It might well engage the earnest efforts of tho ablest Statesmen of our State. A prob lem which self interest calls upon yon to solve. For six months the railroad compa nies havo presented through tho col umns of tho li'ynrh'r a schemo having for its sole object the settlement of those lands and thuir resulting iu- croaso in value. The response has not boon encouraging You havo been invited to send in a list of lands which you would jiool under tho form South were sundorod, and through tho shedding of blood thoy are again I of contract published in the Jt.mrlrr. to connect with tho road building I,T", TT*"?' °'\ h ‘ hiK n P' mrcut •» » - - - ■ 8 1 tbc Soulh tnnmfested as has been j 8chonio H0 j ntin)ntoly connected with your ImsineHS interests caused by any from tborc to Pensacola and Mobilo.

Self interest governs the world. If yonr lands are in the scheme you will havo a hearty interest in its suc cess. No immigration scheme can succeed without hearty co-operation of the business men and general pop* elation in tho section where it is sought to be introduced. The only way to insure that co-operation is by making it your interest to co-operate. lint I desiro to present another and cogonl reason why you should furor this immigration schomo—why you should give it your active support to the extent asked. Your business is increasing in volume and profit with the growth and prosperity of tho country. Yon ore even* now con fronted with a problem which will grow more* imperative in its demand for solution yonr after year, rnd it is the labor problem. Even now coro- pluints are made, not only in your business but in tbe naval slorea and agricultural interests, of a scarcity of lal>or upon which yon can rely. The building of tho Waycross and Jack sonvillo road, only seventy-four miles long, attracted many laborers from the mills and naval store stills on our Hues of road. That was but the com mencement of the railroad boom.— Col. Cole is now building 81) miles from Macon to Atlanta and a tnoro difficult line still to Rome. The 8., F. A W, is preparing for important extensions. Erlanger syndicate will probably soon commence extensions of their groat system to tho Bruns wick ami Albany roads. Branch lines ns /coders nro contemplated by all these systems of roads. Tho bns- iness of all onr towns is boomiug and attracting labor from tho country.— The druin will incrcaso as tho montliH go bv nh f til the problem which now cuuhcs unensinoss will in a few years have to bo met. Why not prepare for it now ? Why not induce along our lines of road intelligent labor and fas ten it thero by offering good homes to bona fide Bottlers, to foroign immi grants, to nuy and all of tho right cluss who can bo induced to come. Pardon ine for tho length of these remarks, for their earnestness. I know most of yon. I havo no doubt that if you had 1/oen here on tho 11th you would havo given me. a patient and courteous hearing. May I ask tlmt you will rend this carefully ? It is written amid tho hurry and rush of busmens. Is it too much to hope that you will suggest through tho AV- jtorh r, or to me personally ut Bruns wick, such things as you think will add to tbe effectiveness of the scheme that you will lend it your aid in ev ert* way in your power ?

It if a matter of discussion at this time what Congress will do for Mrs. Garfield. In this case tbe act passed in relation toMrrffclary Lincoln,whose husband was also assassinatrd while President, is of interest. Thero were three acts of the kind paused by Con gress. The first act passed when Congress camo together after the as sassination of President Lincoln was as follows: “That tho Secretary of tbo Treasury pay out of any money in tho Troosnry not otherwise appropri ated, to Mrs. Mary Lincoln, widow of Abraham Lincoln, Into President of the United States, or in tbo event of her death, before payment, tho snra of twenty-five thousand dollars; provid- always that any snm of money which shall have been paid to the personal representatives of the said Abraham Lincoln since his doath, on account of his salary ns President of the United Htntcs for tho enrrent yenr shall be deducted from the said smn of twen ty-five thousand dollars.'’ Tho amount thus granted to Mrs. Lincoln was the salary of tho President for one yonr. Now that salary is $50,000. In Feb ruary, 18GG, Congress passed the fol lowing act : “That nil letters and pack ets carried by post to and from Mary Lincoln, widow of tho late Abraham Liucoln, be carriod free of poBtago du ring her natural life." In 1870 tho following act was passed: “That the Secretary of the Interior be and here by is authorized to place tho name of Mary Lincoln, widow of Abrulmm Lincoln, deceased, late President of the United States, on the ponsion roll, und allow and pay her a pen Rich at tho rate of $3,000 per annum from and after tho passage of this act. UtJKIKD IN ClITvkI.AM) The ceremonies as mapped out in last issue concerning the remains of our late President woro carried out to the letter. Besides his family, a larg delegation went with the body, and those were met at Cleveland by thou sands more, all anxious to do homage to tho remains of him who stands to day “first :u the hoarts of his country- _ _ ——* mou."
